I was reading an Air Pictorial magazine from 1971 last night. It was querying the defence implications of joining something called the 'Common Market'. The leader column decried the suggestion by Ted Heath and Monsieur Pompidou, that such matters could be discussed later -nothing changes in politics does it!
They also disliked the fact that France had left NATO but was happy to gain from its protection, as all the countries around them were members, without paying for it. Wherever you look, the French turn up as a duplicitous and disgraceful 'relative on the make', a perpetual nuisance and scrounger, lacking any morals.
Who can claim that God doesn't have a sense of humour? He may have needed to rest on the Seventh day, but he must have had some fun along the way. Why else would a country of such stunning beauty have such awful people imposed upon it?
